Personal Experience: Poker vs Affiliate Marketing

October 26th, 2007

Poker is a game I love to play, especially online poker. The reason why is because I can do multiple things online such as play multiple tables or surf the web and talk on IM while playing. I can also play it in the comforts of my own home. Brick and Mortar (real live play) is regarded as “more fun,” but to me, it’s more dull.

Live play is much slower, you get fewer hands and it’s more frustrating when you know you can’t just leave the table for another one that would be better because not that many people play live at a single time. This isn’t the case in online poker, where you can connect with people all over the world. There was a time when online poker was at it’s golden age and everyone seemed to be doing very well in it.

The problem with poker was that regardless of how you got, it’s hard to scale. You only make money for the time you spend playing poker and it can be frustrating when you lose consistently regardless of making the correct play or not. This is a reality for professional poker players and a real turn-off when it comes to doing it for a living. There was a time before that if someone asked me what I wanted to do for a living, it would be playing online poker.

This, in addition to the increasingly difficult restrictions on depositing made playing poker really undesirable.

The reason why you want to do affiliate marketing is because you are able to scale it, you are able to make money without having to be there to make money. All you need to do is create the system, monitor and tweak it.

Both Poker and Affiliate Marketing give you the ability to make more money as you get better and better at it.

Marketocracy: Fantasy Stock Market

October 25th, 2007

The cool thing about Marketocracy.com is that they let you see the stock picks of their best investors with a 30 day free trial, allowing you invest in the stocks of the best traders.

Ideally, if you had a lot of money and followed their index, you could earn a lot on your money… just something to think about.

I’m using Marketocracy to gauge how well I’d do in the stock market before ever actually jumping in. Jumping into something that you aren’t prepared for can lead into some serious repercussions.

To be the best, you must beat the best

Being the best at things has it’s perks. When you look at Kobe Bryant, the best player in the NBA, he gets paid over ten million dollars a year to do what he loves.

Emulate the best, and then improve upon it

Every generation that comes, there are advancements in technology. When you look at the NBA, you see it constantly improve because you have guys like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson to style your game after. If you see the CEO working efficiently, you emulate his time management skills and improve upon them to fit your style.
